A Florida native once wrote that that the people who most want to stop Florida overdevelopment are the ones who brought their house last week.
Almost 60% of Cuban-Americans voted for Trump, the second time...
Do we know why? I have a friend who is Cuban and voted for Trump, but my reason for him is lack of education. What about everyone else?
I grew up with the kids of the original set of Cuban refugees and thought it was because they were the rich people fleeing Castro. So they were already aligned with the right here,they like the idea of being on the upper side of a class divide.
The newer ones may just be anti -abortion, there are a lot of those "single issue voters" everywhere not just here.
It is amazing how the single issue voters choose the party that blatantly lies about their single issue.
Additionally there are a lot of people who choose to remain ignorant about Batista. A communist revolution overthrowing an objectively brutal regime really gets the right wingers on the defensive.
Because this image is burned into their minds whenever they think of Democrats. This happened under Clinton.
This, Janet Reno did more to help the Republicans than any actual Republican.

Western expats in Japan are notorious for hating every other Western expat in Japan. It's even got a name, "My Japan Syndrome".
Is your friend white while complaining about non-white emigrants?
Well that depends on who you ask of course, white is not a constant, but if you ask them, yes.

Very common to hear this. I've heard family that were complaining that male only, illegal immigrants are moving in to steal jobs, when they were exactly in the same situation, just on the other side, some 20 years ago. It honestly shakes my hope in humanity.

They are playing 4D chess: Dumbass, Disturbed, Duped, and Derpy are the four Ds.

Nostalgia for being oppressed is in full force.
"Θtefan Θerban, 69, sitting on a bench with his friend Nicolae Carja, 74, said life had been better under the former Communist dictator, Nicolae CeauΕescu. βWe were a rich country then,β he said. βIndustry, petrol, gas, goldmines. And no debt.β"
I swear to God, I feel like the global rise in far-right parties has less to do with any kind of global cabal, and more to do with the fact that Boomers everywhere are powered by nostalgia. Seems like Boomers everywhere will stop at nothing to bring back the world of their parents that they never experienced.
Just look at how much of Russia's foreign policy is basically "damn, remember when we were the USSR?"
Read a book called 'Future Shock" by Alvin Toffler. He wrote it around 1970 and pretty much predicted everything that happened since. "Future shock" was his term for the madness that people would embrace when they realized they couldn't/wouldn't deal with the changes that the shift from the Industrial Age to the Digital Era would bring.

Please. The Western European, anti-immigrant voting slavs have nothing on our North American balcanic compatriots. We vote right in record proportions! For example the Canadian Bulgarians voted twice harder for the Revival party.
I had managed to keep myself entertained this morning and not fret about this but... yeah, nope, there you are, anxiety, I guess you didn't go far.
Here's hoping that a bunch of Romanians woke up a little. With how low participation typically is people could figure this out if they could get over their whole "politicians are just thieves" deal for five minutes for anything but supporting Russian nazis.
I'm gonna go see if I can get myself distracted again. Good luck to everybody voting today.
"All politicians are the same" they say while always voting for the two same parties that happen to be the closest on the political spectrum.

eli5?
Diaspora, while benefiting from free movement and pluralusm, often feel like they're losing their identity. In turn, they seek to symbolically reassert this identity by remote-voting for the most far-right maniac they can find. The fact that such a maniac would never have let them in, and will ruin the country, doesn't bother them as they don't live there anymore.
Filipinos included, oh and Turks.
Turks are probably the worst, imagine living in Germany and then voting for Erdogan, that's a different kind of hatred for your own people

Please don't blame the minority of a minority, majority of which can't vote yet.
We can though. Yes it was a minority of a minority and not likely to have made a difference. I blame everyone who voted for the end of democracy, human rights, rule of law, but especially those who voted most against their own interest
Latinos and people from West Virginia. wtf did you do that for. Youβre the people hurt the most, but youβre taking the rest of us down with you
